PVCs PACs getting worse

Hey folks

Trying to see if anyone has some insight into what could be causing PVCs PACs and Angina the last 4 years. I am a 32 year old 200lb male with 2 non stressful jobs. I have had severe plaque psoriasis and arthritis for 13 years and uncontrolled systolic hypertension for half of that. Currently on a biologic for psoriasis which has resolved all symptoms and propanol for blood pressure which has reduced frequency of the pvcs pacs and brought blood pressure around 135/75 opposed to 150/85 it was before.

Over the last 4 years I have discovered the following

  1. Potassium triggers a lot of palpitations anything about 3% DV in foods drinks I could be in hospital with 10-20 per hour
  2. Calcium and Vitamin D triggers palpitations and angina pain, if I want to have severe squeezing pain in the middle of my chest just need to take a good ol tums or a vitamin D supplement pill, pain subsides 30mins to an hour with hot tea helping it subside quicker, odd
  3. Soybean oil causes migraines and some palpitations, maybe an allergy...this started around the time the palpitations did
  4. Chlorine in hot tubs pools gets me stuck in tacardia causing a ton of palpitations and hospital visit with it, they did not classify this as an allergy and resting heart rate goes back to normal after a day
  5. Heat, fever from being sick or being a hot humid room sets them off not as bad as calcium potassium chlorine
  6. Caffeine, everyones poison, without beta blockers 70-100mg makes me feel drunk and aggravated the palpitations, with beta blockers it doesn't do this

Have had 10 + echos ecgs and a few stress tests, getting very light headed while exercising but still passing stress test for now. Also lung xray done as well. Got mad after doctors didnt do anything bought 4 lead ECG of my own, the last year or so it picks up pvcs pacs and something called a left bundle branch block, recently as problems got worse and I had to resort to beta blocker therapy it started showing something about a hemi block....

should I keep pursuing doctors about this situation or am I just crazy and should ignore it. Could a blocked artery somehow fool an echo and ecg test? attached images above of personal ecg tests done

    I can't offer any advice, but it sounds like something not to ignore. I suffer from random pvc's (last 7 years) and they are frustrating and can often cause anxiety/panic. I've learned to live with them for the most part as all tests so far have been fine, but I still go the the doc occasionally for a sanity check if nothing else.
